The old tablet had the power button just around to the right of the micro USB outlet, which made diconnecting with the left hand and powering off with the right quick and eqsy, the A8 has the power on switch on the left and at the other end, really good for two left hands.

Do recall Ad Astra on FTA here some years back- it’s bound to make a re-appearance sometime.
Really that bad? Most of the FTA streaming sections boast a comprehensive line-up of goodies, old and new, it’s the migration over to Fetch that has uncovered bugs that make streaming more screaming than ever before. A lot of it appears to be on the Fetch…[Read more] -

Despite “The North Wind and the Sun” still being used in phonetic sampling there were some who preferred to cry wolf. As it so happens, the wolf is in AI clothing now, because telling the difference between human and AI voice samples requires more of a better set of ears than before. Something the likes of Presbycusis have no answer for. 🙁

Even the idea of persuading folks to setup, operate, and champion such clinics is itself enough to warrant such an argument. Design hint: all doors, windows and fittings are to be unhinged, to match the profiles of the inmates. 😛

The Batman with ads consumed most of the evening. All the sounds of Gotham are imbued in the all pervading dark noise, thereby taking a little away from the fine score and dialogue. The purpose of the Riddler murders at the beginning seemed to get lost in other incongruities, his later revealed character was an interesting contrast. The characters…[Read more]
